Mayfest 2022 Ticket Sales are Open!

RAFFLE TICKET INFORMATION:

The MAYFEST online raffle is officially OPEN! Click here to access the website. Raffle books went home with your student(s) on Friday, 5/13 (4th graders will receive theirs on Monday, 5/16). If your child did not receive a book, please email hubbardwoodspto@gmail.com as soon as possible.

FOOD & GAME TICKET INFORMATION:

Skip the lines and pre-purchase your game/food tickets! Food and game tickets are interchangeable.

NEW THIS YEAR! Purchase an all-inclusive wristband which allows you to participate in all of the games and inflatables as many times as you wish! Additionally, a food voucher is included with every wristband purchase which means you do not need to buy separate tickets for food (voucher includes a single purchase of one slice of pizza, one hot dog, chips and water). Wristbands are ONLY available for pre-purchase and will not be sold at the event, so do not miss out! Discounts are applied for multiple wristband purchases.

*The deadline to pre-purchase tickets online is Thursday, May 19th 5:00 p.m. CST*

If your child is not in school on 5/20, you can pick up your tickets/wristbands at the Ticket Booth day-of.

Watch your child’s eyes light up when they arrive at MAYFEST and see your family’s name on their favorite MAYFEST attraction! We are looking for a family, or group of families, to sponsor the following: Giant Slide $1995, DJ $500, and Obstacle Course $450. Please email Alyssa Demas Quinn (alyssademas@yahoo.com) to learn more about event-level sponsorship opportunities.

Thank you for your collective and generous support of this fundraising event. The more we raise, the more we can do for our kids and staff at HWS. All proceeds go directly to the PTO to fund enrichment opportunities, school enhancements, staff support and learning resources.

See you on the HW playground!

World Travelers Indonesia!

Join us as World Travelers takes Hubbard Woods on a journey to Indonesia! Students will learn fun facts about the tropical country including the best places to visit, its role in the discovery of the Americas and meet some really cute, but endangered, animals.

There is no need to sign up for World Travelers, as all students will have an opportunity to view a presentation in class that was created by a fellow Hubbard Woods parent, Louisa Balach. They can test their newfound knowledge out by filling out a quiz and turning it in to their teacher. 6 randomly selected students who turn in a completed quiz can win a special prize!

Want to join in on the fun at home? Click on the links below to:

-Take the World Travelers Quiz on Indonesia and turn it in at school for a chance to win a prize!

– See what a Gamelan performance is like (located in Bali)
– Learn more about Wayang Kulit (shadow puppets)

Thank you to Louisa Balach for sharing her heritage with our Hubbard Woods School community and thanks to all for joining us as we reimagine World Travelers again this year! Any questions? Contact Hubbard Woods PTO.

World Travelers Iran!

World Travelers traveled to Iran guided by the Sani Family!

CREDIT for Missed Kiddos Lunches During Quarantine

FROM KIDDOS:

There is a NEW Kiddos Lunch Policy change for students who have to quarantine-hint, hint, YOU WILL LIKE IT!

We truly appreciate your business and understand how insanely challenging the last two years have been for you. We want to make your life easier, and making sure you can order lunches without worrying you may need to quarantine – and lose out on credits – is no longer a worry!

Going forward, we will provide you with a Kiddos credit for any lunches you have ordered for dates where the Wednesday noon cancellation window has passed. As always, any dates which are still available to cancel can be done on your online account and a credit is automatically provided. So while we aren’t able to cancel the orders with the restaurants after the Wednesday noon deadline and they will be delivered to school, you will still receive a courtesy Kiddos credit for them.

For the dates too late to cancel, all you need to do is contact us at support@kiddoscatering.com and let us know the following information: School Name, Account Holder Name, Student Name, Quarantine Dates and Dates lunches ordered (within the quarantine dates that are unavailable to cancel online).

Once we receive your information, we will provide a courtesy credit on your Kiddos account. The credit will be auto applied during the checkout the next time you place a lunch order. Now you can order with confidence!

Thank you,

Kiddos Lunch Team

Hubbard Woods Winter Showcase!

Wow! The Winter Showcase was such a special treat for our community. We are incredibly grateful to our students, staff and parent volunteers for the creativity, time, ingenuity, work, and energy that was dedicated to this project. What a wonderful example of progressive education and the meaningful learning experiences that our school offers.

Here is a brief tour of the Winter Showcase for those unable to attend, or who want to watch again: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Fdxnx6KNrdhdRqvr-Wvpr7kYjn4HlAW/view

World Travelers learned about Colombia!

The World Travelers program is a special Hubbard Woods tradition which has taken on various forms over time. Our first World Travelers experience was the week of October 18 when we “traveled” to Colombia with the Shideler family!

Click Here to view the Colombia Travelogue if you want to catch up on what your child has learned!

Students will have opportunities at school and through Schoology posts to learn about a particular country for a given week three times throughout the year. We will not be serving lunches this year but have many special experiences in store! Parents will also be provided with optional activities to do at home with your family. Stay tuned for more details on our next “trip!”
